Read this and tell me why you were so irked that you had to start a topic
"I'd like more people to come on Saturday, we need the people. I invite all our people to come Saturday, 3 pm, to watch the game."
You're being told you're needed and that upsets you?
He managed to convince the media he was leaving the other week.Why was it needed to be said in the first place, our attendance record is one of the best in the league for Prem games
If it was about atmosphere, well many managers have lamented the atmosphere, even the old pisscan, if that is what Pep intention was as some think he worded badly and it in a way that gave a negative slant on the fans attendance, and has fed the trolls and allowed an already clownshoe standard of sports media another chance to lay into us and take the piss
It was an unecessary comment and it isn't the first time he has done it.
Most teams in the champions league don't reach full houses and the likes of barca and Juve cannot fill their stadiums for leagues games, so it is such a stupid thing to talk bring up even if you have managed the biggest clubs in europe.
Rather 35,000 real City fans every week than turn into tourist City like the swamp. Pep is out of order and does not get City fans. Fans doing 150 miles round trips for games after a shift at work. We should get a song going aimed at the mard arse.don't get what pep was on about, looked a decent crowd to me, atmosphere flat but when the oposition only bring about 30 it doesn't help, very strange comment by pep giving the media another stick to beat us with, weird
Plus, where was Pep when we were shit?!Rather 35,000 real City fans every week than turn into tourist City like the swamp. Pep is out of order and does not get City fans. Fans doing 150 miles round trips for games after a shift at work. We should get a song going aimed at the mard arse.
Not sure I ever heard him thanking the fans for travelling in difficult circumstances for the final. Infact I've not heard him thank our fans much at all in his five seasons here so far.Where was Pep after the final? Did he realise fans had turned up?
This is a great post. Way over the top reaction from some fans and why the supporters club had to fan the flames is beyond me. He would have been better off talking to the club about tickets, transport etcWhat is it that you annoys you about Pep's comments? I feel I must be missing something. I watched the interview and all he does is literally invite more fans to attend the game at the weekend because the team will need them.
I hope City fans go to the game realising that they have a part to play instead of just sitting back waiting to be entertained.
Can’t be arsed with anything other than 15:00 kick offs on a Saturday these days.
Didn't go, even though I am on the Cup schemes. Had an email from City thanking me for buying a ticket, money had left my bank, but my mobile season ticket was stating that Southampton was the next match. A day before the match v Leipzig was to take place, I decided that to embark on a 200 mile round trip to attend the Leipzig game was dodgy. I wasn't sure that I would gain entrance to the ground, so gave it a miss. Eventually got a text from City on Tuesday mid afternoon advising me that my mobile season ticket was valid for the Leipzig game. I had already made alternative plans so gave City a miss. If this becomes the norm, I will pack in the cup matches. And this is from a season ticket holder of 45 years.
He’s probably in his 60’s like me with kids that get pissed off with him (like mine) because like me He can’t even use the tv remote properly (usually coz I’ve got it upside down)You don't know how to use your phone do you?
